COLUMBUS, Ind. — A Nashville man unsuccessfully attempted to escape police by jumping into rain swollen creek Wednesday afternoon.
Around 5:30 p.m., police observed Winston Zink, 31, working on a moped in the 900 block of North U.S. 31. Knowing that there was a warrant for his arrest, police approached Zink. He fled toward Clifty Creek and jumped into the swift current. When Zink began to struggle in the water police threw him a rope and pulled him to safety.
Police determined the moped was stolen during the ensuing investigation.
Zink has been charged with auto theft, resisting arrest and the outstanding warrant.
